We have this product built in our computer system. It is setup as a separate product. We use pre printed thawed labels but Hemotrax standalone should be able to print them. What system do you have?

Unsure if you still need a reply: You should print/review or store/review your data at regular intervals.

Wellsky and Ortho Vision Interface Issues
B Postive replied to Transfusion98's topic in Transfusion Services
The issue is when host (instrument) sends query to WellSky. WellSky will only send back message at patient level. It does not have capability to send specimen level message yet. You will have to find a workaround. Either program the instrument to run and report your ABO confirm first or run and report type and screen. -

Agree blood in coolers is considered storage, whose responsibility would it be to ensure proper chain of custody is maintained especially when units are issued in cooler to one nursing unit i.e. Operating room, the nursing unit wants to take the cooler to the 2nd nursing unit (ICU). Let's say they ordered 4 RBC to be available for a case in a room, now they take the cooler with them to ICU. We will not know how much was given in OR and how much was given at 2nd location. The orders from OR may get reconciled and I am guessing new orders (for regulatory purpose) should be placed if they are going to transfuse, however we will not issue to them they will just take what they need at this new location. Is there a process in place that could manage this scenario better?

Does your facility issue blood products for transfusion to nursing units in coolers? If yes, do you allow the blood products to travel from one nursing unit to the other with the patient? Do you know of any regulations that govern such practice?

We use Rad Sure indicators. The QC is performed with old and new together. We use 1 old indicator on a top of the unit of blood. we place 1 old and 1 new lot sideby side on the bottom of the bag. Run the cycle and compare the two bottom ones side by side. We peel the bottom ones off and place it on the QC log with lot # information and indicate on the log if QC was okay and or not. We save 2 indicators in an envelope for the lot that we just QC'd for the next lot.
